BLURB: 

Logan St. James is a smoldering, sexy beast. Sure, he can be a little broody at times—but Ellie Hammond’s willing to overlook that. Because, have you seen him??

Sexy. As. Hell.

And Ellie’s perky enough for both of them.

For years, she’s had a crush on the intense, protective royal security guard—but she doesn’t think he ever saw her, not really.

To Logan, Ellie was just part of the job—a relative of the royal family he’d sworn to protect. Now, at 22 years old and fresh out of college, she’s determined to put aside her X-rated dreams of pat-downs and pillow talk, and find a real life happily ever after.

The Queen of Wessco encourages Ellie to follow in her sister’s footsteps and settle down with a prince of her own. Or a duke, a marquis…a viscount would also do nicely.

But in the pursuit of a fairy tale ending, Ellie learns that the sweetest crushes can be the hardest to let go. *** Logan St. James grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, in a family on the wrong side of the law. But these days, he covers his tattoos and scars with a respectable suit. He’s handsome, loyal, brave, skilled with his hands and…other body parts.

Any woman would be proud to bring him home to her family.

But there’s only one woman he wants.

For years he’s watched over her, protected her, held her hair back when she was sick, taught her how to throw a punch, and spot a liar.

He dreams of her. Would lay down his life for her.

But beautiful Ellie Hammond’s off-limits.

Everybody knows the bodyguard rules: Never lose focus, never let them out of your sight, and never, ever fall in love.

Review by: Leeann 

So I loved the blurb for this book & couldn’t wait to get stuck into it.

Ellie is a young woman who becomes famous when her sister marries a prince.  Logan is the body guard assigned to protect her life.

I am not sure if this author has the inside know for the English royal family but there were some scenes in this story that I could easily see play out behind the palace walls in real life!

Ellie is a bit of a lovable character and I really couldn’t help but like her. She is cheeky, independent and at times has no bounderies. She holds nothing back and really grabs life by the balls.

Logan is a complete sexy mystery. He keeps himself to himself unless it involves Ellie.  

Ok, now I did enjoy this book but I have to admit it did start off kind of slow for me. Once I got to about the 65%-70% mark it picked up and I didn’t want to put it down until the end. Once the pace picks up the entire story changes direction. It becomes action packed and sexy. 

The secondary characters are interesting and play a pivotal part in this story. If you took them away it would leave a huge gap in the flow of the story.

There are a few little twists and turns that keep Logan and Ellie on their toes and the sense of family an love once all the creases are ironed out is beautifully overwhelming.

This is an overall good read.

Review by: Gina

This book took a different direction than what I was expecting, especially compared to the other two books in the series. When I started reading I did enjoy idea of the forbidden type romance with the bodyguard and the girl he is to protect. It added a lot tension to the story. But somewhere along the way the story fell short for me. It was lacking some of the humor I was use to in the first two books. Then there were other parts that went on longer than I wanted them to. 

I thought the story, itself, was well written. I loved that we also got to hear from some of the other character in the previous books. But overall, there was something that was missing for me. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone but you do get some small spoilers from the previous books. 

3 Stars 

 

EXCERPT

Ellie But then the mood shifts, as if the air becomes thicker, weighted, more . . . sultry. Because slowly, Logan sinks down to one knee in front of me—looking in my eyes the whole time. In this position, I could touch his shoulders, comb my fingers through his thick, dark hair. He’s the perfect height for me to bend down and kiss his mouth—the perfect height for him to kiss me back . . . in a lot of places. My breath hitches. And I wonder he feels it too. There’s a sound of tearing Velcro, and Logan takes something off his ankle—a holster, with a small silver knife, about three inches long. “Keep this on you all the time,” he says seriously. “Just in case. If you wear a skirt, the strap will fit around your thigh.” And I almost laugh. Most girls get a ring from a guy on his knees. I get a murder weapon. But still, it makes me feel safe . . . watched over. Like I’m something precious that deserves to be protected. I take the knife from him, testing the surprisingly solid, heavy weight of it in my hand. I press my index finger to the tip. Logan grabs my wrist tightly. “Careful. It’s sharp.” There’s a small, painless nick, a tiny bead of blood, so I put my finger in my mouth, sucking. And Logan’s watching me again. Watching my mouth. His chest seems to rise just a little faster, and his throat ripples when he swallows. He bends his head, curves his strong back, and then I feel his hands on my ankle, securing the strap. His touch is warm and self-assured. It’s the way he always moves—confident and experienced. Logan knows his body and he knows how to use it, in every way possible. I almost moan. The sound is in the back of my throat, but I keep it trapped. I never knew the ankle was an erogenous zone, but it sure as hell is now. A hot pulse of pleasure streaks from Logan’s fingers on my bare skin, up my thigh, between my legs. And I throb there, growing swollen and heavy as he keeps his hands on me. Can he tell? Does he know? He’s so aware of everything, always so attuned, I wonder if he can sense my arousal . . . feel it in the air that clings between us.
